This home is an amazing authentic log cabin with lodge decor and breathtaking views of a beautiful quiet lake. It's Alpine style features large windows, a stone fireplace, a magnificent great room with dining area, bar and kitchen and a loft with two bunk rooms. Every season offers opportunities for a relaxing getaway whether it's swimming or kayaking, hiking or snowshoeing. Bruce and I are your bnb hosts. We live in our own quarters with a private entrance and never intrude on your getaway.

We will be at home in our own living space. We are there if you need assistance or information but otherwise seek to be invisible! You will have access to a well- equipped kitchen, the great room with fireplace, dining room with a classic cabin appropriate table and a bar with 8 bar stools. There are two beautifully appointed bedrooms upstairs on the loft that overlook the great room and the lake - the best view in the house! Also upstairs is a bathroom with a small shower stall. The home is decorated in grand fashion to truly capture the essence of log cabin living. There is also a half bath on the first floor with laundry facilities. In warmer months you can enjoy the outdoor deck with picnic table that seats 12, the gas grill, two kayaks, a canoe, two paddleboards, an antique rowboat, and the dock. Year round enjoy the pool table downstairs and the outdoor firepit. Optional extras are yoga classes taught by a certified instructor, paddleboard instruction, paddleboard yoga classes, and also a sunset cruise on a 12 person party boat with champagne and hors d'oeuvres. Enjoy the haunting sounds of the loons during the summer months, the beauty of autumn colors on the lake, an enchanting Christmas season or snow falling in winter. Year round there is something for everyone but always a warm, cozy getaway retreat.

This is a lake community where most residents (85%) are seasonal. We chose to retire here and live here year round enjoying the beauty of all the seasons. The log cabin is on a town-maintained dirt road and walking around the lake (just over 4 miles) is a common pastime. The lake has excellent fishing and motor craft are permitted. The lake is rarely busy even on the 4th of July weekend. There is a public launch but it is not heavily trafficked.

We were so thrilled and grateful to have had the chance to stay at Susan and Bruce's amazing lake house. Susan is an unbelievable host. Her energy and thoughtfulness are above and beyond. She was so accommodating and put so much thought into the extra touches. One of our group ended up arriving much earlier and she was able to accommodate. Meanwhile the rest of the group arrived quite late and she was there to welcome us with lovely refreshments, insight for planning the next days, and to show us around the house which is so wonderfully appointed. It has all one would expect from a picture-perfect charming Maine lake house while also feeling super spacious & clean as one would feel in a hotel. It is so hard to strike this balance and this place has it! Susan is a host extraordinaire from the beautiful hors d'oeuvres she prepared for the boat, her spectacular lakeside yoga class, a wonderful campfire she set up for us for the evening, and all the carefully selected things she has for guests to use (everything you'd need for outdoor dining, plenty of lakeside lounging--from the dock, to hammocks, to recliners on the lawn, and a great collection of water equipment to take out onto the lake.) We had a dreamy two days spending lots of time in and around the lake, and really enjoyed the company and hospitality of Susan & Bruce. Can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Susan has such a wonderful place! She & Bruce are great people! It's a must visit!

Christopher2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Susan's home is a beautiful rustic lodge, comfortable and inviting. Susan and Bruce were wonderful hosts, knowledgeable and helpful when we needed them although most of the time we hardly even knew we were sharing a house with them! It was a wonderful place in winter, with a roaring fire and a beautiful view, and a perfect place to spend a snowy weekend mini-reunion.

Rachel2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

This was my first airbnb experience and let me just say any other rental I consider in the future will have a lot to live up to. Everything was above and beyond what I expected. I looked into this house as a birthday trip getaway for my sisters birthday weekend. There were five of us, (my sister and I, her two best friends and her boyfriend) who made the trip from NYC to Maine and when were arrived we were in awe of the beauty. The decor was everything you would expect of a nice lake cabin. Susan and Bruce greeted us with fresh cookies, milk and champagne really making us feel welcome and at home. Susan then proceeded to give us a tour of the home so we would know where everything was. We started in the kitchen, dining room and living open area. The kitchen was very spacious plenty of room for cooking, eating around the kitchen island and storing food for the week. The dining area had been set with settings for our us (we had chose not to disturb because it was so beautiful). The living space had a television beautiful fireplace which was set up for us every night, and ample seating space. The ceilings were high and the decor was very rustic definitely what we were looking for trying to get away from the city. The view of the lake from inside was amazing to wake up to every morning. Our bedrooms were right upstairs on the loft and the beds were very comfortable. We did have access to two bathroom, one including a shower. The shower is quite small, so might be trouble for the bigger built types but it did its purpose. We had the perfect weather and a bunch of us used the paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy the lake, while some took advantage of the 5 mile walk around the lake-it was gorgeous. Honestly we had an amazing time and would definitely consider coming back. We were skeptical about sharing the home and feeling like we were intruding but it was not weird at all, Susan and Bruce live in their own area, but at the same time were always there for when we needed them. One night Susan even joined us for a game of Banana Grams and even offered to bake us an apple pie with ice cream but we had to politely decline as we didn't want to stray too far from our fitness lifestyles. It was comforting knowing people were there in case we needed them-being from NY isolation can be scary, so we loved it! We would have to say this house and the owners were perfect and we would definitely book another stay here! My sister had the best 21st birthday and a big thank you goes to Susan and Bruce for providing such hospitality.

Susan was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The lake house was located on a serene lake and the house's large backyard lead to a private dock that allowed us to take out paddleboards/kayaks/a rowboat whenever our hearts desired. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a log cabin motif (several furs/game trophies adorn the walls). The beds and sheets were very comfortable and even in mid-August there was never a time where I missed having an AC (in fact, it got chilly at night). After spending 4 nights in Acton we found ourselves wishing we could stay another week. Susan was a perfect host and the lake house provided a beautiful escape from city life.

We are located in Waterboro, Maine, a quiet, country town in rural Maine. The house is set in a meadow nestled in the woods, off the beaten path at the end of a private road. The master suite is a large bedroom with an ensuite, private bathroom. This is the perfect place to get away from it all, relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. We are located 30 minutes west of Kennebunk, Wells, Biddeford, Cornish and 50 minutes from Old Orchard Beach, Portland and Portsmouth.

Large comfortable room with cozy Queen bed and plenty of storage space on second floor of quiet, private, secluded home. Beautiful setting in a quiet country town. Bringing the family? We have an additional twin room listed separately. Great place to relax, unwind and get away from it all.

Michelle has a very nice home and a comfortable yet spacious room available for her guests. I was not able to meet her in person due to our time frame but she had everything ready and available for us making for a very enjoyable nights stay. I would certainly recommend her room to others and not hesitate to stay with her again if I am ever in the area in the future.

Brian2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

Michelle's place is huge and really beautiful: Big comfy bed, lots of space in the closet, enormous bathroom. Unfortunately, we only stayed there for one night although that place calls for a longer stay to enjoy the region. Thank you for all your effort, Michelle!

Sophie2016-09-24T00:00:00Z

Michelle and Dan were great hosts and their house is beautiful. The listing was accurate -- the master suite afforded us solitude when we wanted it, but we also made use of the porch/patio and Michelle and Dan were very accommodating in terms of letting us explore the house and property. Even with another guest staying, it felt like a very personal experience, not clinical like a hotel. They even left a little packet of complimentary toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, etc. in our bathroom! The grounds were beautiful as well, with a pond, gardens, and a nice porch swing. Great first airbnb experience!

Mohamed2015-07-04T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay. Michelle and Daniel were great and it was nice getting to know them. We felt very comfortable and would recommend this house to anyone. Place was clean. Thank you for your hospitality. Diane & Phil

Michelle was a very friendly and welcoming host. The home is clean and comfortable, the grounds are beautiful and breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Suzanne2016-06-24T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Michelle was perfect! The house is located in a quiet, peaceful area. The room had everything we needed. Michelle even made us muffins in the morning, and we chatted with her and her husband over coffee on the porch before we left.

Gretchen2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Michelle, Daniel, and Stephanie are a great family on a little beautiful farm in nowhere Maine. Secluded, quiet, spacious and soooo comfortable; exactly what we were looking for. They are so nice and the muffins were delicious. It was relaxing and warm and the only thing I missed was hearing the wild turkeys in the morning. We enjoyed meeting Nate and he is so much like our last companion at home. If you want to get away and just relax and be with some great folks, this is the place. Thanks guys.

Nancy is a kind soul. Her home is adorable, clean, charming and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and will be back :).

Patrick2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

Nancy was completely hospitable. I stayed for 1 night- the room and bathroom were both clean, and the property is beautifully located on a quiet lake. Great location for my trip's itinerary: located between the White Mountains and Portland. I would stay here again. Thanks Nancy!

Clayton2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Nancy was a great host! An absolutely beautiful house that was very clean and a 30 second walk from a gorgeous lake. Two very cute, friendly pets and a nice environment made for a great stay. Definitely will come back whenever I come back to Maine!

Justin2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

Never made it to the reservation due to a scheduling conflict but great communication from Nancy. Will definitely consider in the future if I am ever in the area.

Beautiful secluded cottage with comfort and privacy. Just 250 feet to the lake. Easy access to both ME and NH Snowmobile trails. Spend the day kayaking (2 are provided!), hiking, fishing. Enjoy a family retreat or a quiet get-away for two. All new and sparkling clean.

Luxurious secluded "Cabin in the Woods." Just bring your clothes and groceries, we have provided everything else. There are 3 private, air conditioned bedrooms and comfortable sleeping for 8 with new hotel quality linens.
Enjoy the acres of woods from the rockers on the front porch, then mix a beverage at the wet-bar while fixing dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. The open-concept living space is warm and inviting, with cable TV so that you don't miss the big game. The perfect spot for a family retreat or a private week-end for two.
Enjoy the lake from the private association beach, just 250 feet from the front door. Bring your own kayak or use the two that are provided, and fish or paddle down the rivers that feed the lake. You may see eagles, turtles, or any variety of wildlife.
We are at the northern end of our lake, and the fishing here is the best. The lake is 5 miles long with 3 rivers that feed it. A wonderful spot for hiking, fishing, or kayaking in summer; or XC skiing, skating, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling in winter. Board games, books, and DVDs are provided.

Ridgewood Acres is a small, close-knit neighborhood, with 13 houses and a private beach. The road itself is private, at the end of a sparsely populated, mile-long dirt road.

Our stay was wonderful! The Cottage was beautifully appointed and the hosts were very attentive to anything we needed. They knew we were coming in late and were thoughtful enough to make sure we had stuff for breakfast, as well as other little nicities. The kitchen was fully functional for everything we wanted to cook and never had to go out to eat unless we wanted to. The hosts and cottage get a 10 from us and we can't wait to come back in the summer!

Laurie2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

Excellent cozy getaway. Great for a romantic vacation or a family retreat away from it all. Nice and secluded. Beautiful styled craftsman cottage; simple and elegant. Fits a family of 4 perfect and/or isn't too big for just a couple either. The master bed is to die for! So comfy. The host provides many amenities such as starter foods: cereals, coffee, bagels, etc., and toiletries: shampoo, soap, as well as kindling and firewood for the wood stove. If it's winter and snowy or icy, and/or the forecast says there'll be that at some point have a 4WD or AWD vehicle. Wonderfully private area. Awesome access to the "pond" (more like a lake). We couldn't even get out on to it because it was winter, but it was still beautiful to snowshoe over to it. Would totally come back in the summer. Drawback: no dishwasher, but that's what kids are for right!? Also, the water system works like the old-school houses: can't shower back-to-back for 3 hours straight, or run the washing machine and take a shower or run water in the sink, or flush the toilet when you're showering. But, once you respect that, it's well worth it! We loved it!

Jane2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

This house was absolutely lovely, and it came complete with everything from nice linens for the super-comfortable beds to numerous spices and condiments for casual meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our time rocking in the front porch chairs, paddling in the shallow lake nearby, and heading farther afield to hit the beaches and restaurants about 45 minutes away on the coast. Jennifer was a very attentive host, going out of her way to ensure that we had everything we might need or want, and anticipating our needs before we knew that we had them. The first morning of our three-day stay, she knocked on the door bright and early to give us a thorough briefing on the home, right down to an evacuation plan, and she stopped by several additional times to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed on our vacation. Jennifer's face became a familiar one by the end of our stay. The one drawback to this generous hospitality was that we felt that we needed to be company-ready at all times.

Emily2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

The "cabin" was beyond our imagination! It is a fully equipped and very nice house, not really a cabin, with a great combo of rustic and comfort. It is incredibly peaceful and quiet and smack in the middle of the woods. There wasn't one thing we needed that we could not find in the house and we cooked a lot. There is every kind of appliance if you like to cook, including two coffee makers, a panini maker, blender, cuisanart, etc. the house was perfectly clean and neat and we even enjoyed the board games on a rainy day. Six of us stayed there very comfortably, using 3 upstairs bedrooms and the pullout couch in the den downstairs. We usually go to NH every summer to visit and will definitely rent this house again.

monica2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at the cabin in the woods. Very remote and a great get away from the hustle and bustle yet still an hours drive to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. It was great kayaking the lake but you do have to go out a ways to get to the deeper part of the lake. Overall it was a fun family experience.

John2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Jennifer is a wonderful host and made sure everything was perfectly arranged in advance of our arrival. Everything we could want was provided. The location was wonderful. A luxury cottage in a perfect woodland setting with a beautiful lake with kayaks. I really look forward to returning!

Chris2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Jennifer was very responsive yet gave you privacy. She was waiting for us and had a wonderful manual for us that spelled out everything available, from spices in the drawers to restaurants and their locations nearby, to lake maps and depth outlines! The place was very clean, everything was exactly as described. It was a wonderful peaceful weekend away, and we would definitely come back! Thank you!

Misty2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

From the moment we booked with Jennifer, she was very helpful and provided wonderful recommendations and suggestions! Additionally, she made sure we were situated with every thing we could have possibly needed upon arrival. The neighborhood itself was perfect for a relaxing getaway and exceeded all our expectations!

I had a wonderful stay at Michelle and Daniel's house! Their house is beautiful and comfortable, and they are both relaxed and welcoming.

Elisabeth2015-07-07T00:00:00Z

Lovely home and garden off the beaten path. The hosts were both really nice and helpful during my stay. Comfy bed!

B2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

The stay was just the thing I needed. Moondance Meadows is beautiful, peaceful, and filled with nature. So if anyone needed to un-stress themselves or escape the city life, this is the perfect place. Michelle and Daniel were very pleasant to talk with and accommodating with recommendations. They also have a extremely beautiful husky, however he is a bit shy. Unfortunately, since I planned this trip at the last second, I didn't even enough time to completely explore the area and befriend the husky. But I managed to have awesome ice-cream at Shaker Pond Ice Cream (Go with the small size, trust me) and hiked at Mount Agamenticus (which have an breath-taking view from the top). As a bonus treat, make sure to grab one of Michelle's homemade blueberry muffins before you leave (It tastes like magic, with just the right amount of sweetness).

Jeremy2015-08-31T00:00:00Z

Before my arrival, I'd had several back-and-forth mails with Michelle, mostly pertaining to my need to find others traveling for a reunion. Her followup was immediate and spot-on. As she knew I'd be arriving late, her instructions on how to find my spot were perfect. I came earlier in the day, to put my breakfast makings into the refrigerator, and got myself installed in the room. It was as described, and all was well as I went off to my reunion. As I surveyed the meadow, there were a dozen or so wild turkeys feeding on the manicured grounds. Marvelous, especially for one who lives in nature, full time, on a sailboat! I met my fellow guest as I drove in, late at night. We were both there for the week, and during our stay, even though I was out early and back late, I got to know him and the Wades. We shared common interests, as it turned out, both Daniel and Michelle (diving and windsurfing) and my co-tenant (sailor, cruiser, lifetime on-the-waterfront owner who'd sold his home earlier than expected and needed a place while his new home was finished). While we didn't see each other every day, I got to know both of the Wades over coffee and Michelle's AWESOME blueberry muffins, cooked using blueberries from their own gardens. They graciously allowed me to make my own unique breakfast in the fantastically equipped kitchen every day, and I felt like a member of the family before I left. The single bed was very comfortable, and long enough for my 6-4 frame; they were solicitous about it's being adequate, which it certainly was. My first morning presented a view of the meadow from my second-floor accommodations which include even more wild turkeys grazing. Later in the year, I understand that a similar number of deer might be found under the large oak, as they foraged for acorns. As I was there during leaf season, I was rewarded with a riot of colors out my window. My room had all I could possibly want for the way I live - a bright light and night stand for reading before sleeping, ample covers should I have preferred it even cooler than I normally do, books on the shelf to read had I not brought my own, and nature-friendly supplies in the shower. Their common areas are warm country style, and my hosts were great landlords - there when I needed anything, but not intrusive should I desire privacy. Highly recommended, and I'd welcome the chance to stay again should the occasion arise. Well done!

Skip2015-10-10T00:00:00Z

I was only at Michelle and Daniel's place for a night, but I had a great time. It's a remote, but very beautiful setting in Maine. The room was perfect and has a great view from the window. I had a nice chat with Daniel but never met Michelle as she wasn't able to make it back home that night. I would definitely stay here again.

Nicholas2015-10-17T00:00:00Z

Moondance meadow is a beautiful location and the room was just as shown. Exactly what one needs after a long day! Michelle and her husband were not able to be there ( which I regretted as I had looked forward to meeting them! ) but their daughter was there to greet me and show me my room. The best part though was picking blueberries in the morning! Many thanks Michelle , I hope to stay with you on my way back home. Cheryl

Cheryl2015-08-05T00:00:00Z

The house was easy to find. Michelle and Daniel were accommodating hosts. I had a nice quiet stay and would stay here again.

Chris2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

I loved staying in Michelle and Daniel's home. They were so friendly and helpful, and recommended local places to see fireworks, walk around, and even find lobster and local ice cream! The bedroom was very private, the bed extremely comfortable, and the location serene and peaceful. They even put out a hammock for me! I would definitely stay at their home again and would highly recommend it - was a great experience!

Beautiful custom lake front home situated on five private acres for your year round enjoyment. Custom chefs kitchen, screened porch and deck, plus plenty of room to spread out. Swimming, boating and fishing from two docks on 300 feet of lake shore all summer. Two kayaks available for use. Games, books and movies for your entertainment. Within an hour of hiking in the White Mountains, all the amenities Portland has to offer and the Maine beaches. Good for couples and families (with kids).

This was my first Airbnb experience and it was a completely positive one. Lisa's home is adorable and perfect for large groups. The main living area is just one large open room so our group could all be together and play games and relax. The house is very unique with tons of windows and high wood ceilings. It snowed 12 inches the night before we arrived and it was perfect for sledding because the house is set on a hill. I will definitely keep this house in mind for future trips with friends and family.

Enjoy the beauty and nature of Maine (and NH) from this beautiful log cabin on a quiet lake (kayaking, canoeing, fishing and ice skating) and steps from walking trails (+ X-country skiing and snow-shoeing). The perfect place to get away.

This is the perfect place to get away, decompress and spend quality time with friends and family. Everything that nature offers is just outside the door - canoeing, kayaking, fishing, snow shoeing, X-country skiing and hiking. Enjoy watching the stars from the hot tub at night. And the cabin is the perfect place to relax, play games (including air hockey and many board games) or just read a book or watch a movie. And, the kitchen has everything you need for the most exquisite meals. If you do want to get out, the house is also easily accessible to more "touristy" attractions in Maine and New Hampshire - most are no more than a 1-hour drive.

It's a very safe and quiet area. There are just a few houses around the cabin and we all know one another well.

We had a fantastic long weekend in this cabin in February 2015, and plan to return in the summer to try out the kayaking, swimming and hiking nearby! The location is as stunning as it looks in the pictures, on the end of a beautiful and wild lake with a forest across the other side. The hot tub is large and right by the house, but overlooks the lake - what luxury! The snowshoeing, X/C skiing and walking around the lakeside and across the lake was fantastic. The cabin itself is really nicely furnished, very spacious and well-kept and clean. We were 10 people, and we fitted comfortably (6 people in double bedrooms, 2 people in the double bunk bed room, and 2 people on the fold-out bed in the office and a bed in the basement). As well as a huge variety of kitchen equipment, there were great games equipment for the evenings or rainy days - board games, books, a Wii and an air hockey table. The house is easy to find and easy to reach from Boston. Although it is on a relatively quiet lake, it has neighbors nearby in case of problems! Jeff and Jane were always really helpful and responded extremely quickly to all our emails. After particularly cold winter, our (non-four-wheel drive) car did not get up the hill out of the house and had to be towed, and Jeff and Jane kindly offered us some compensation for this. [Small note: For large groups planning trips, it is worth noting that the bathrooms are only accessible through the office or through the double bunk bed room, so if there is someone sleeping in the office they may need to prepare to be disturbed in the night!] Overall - a really fantastic place, in a stunning location! We would thoroughly recommend it.

Anna2015-02-16T00:00:00Z

Our group of 8 friends stayed at Jeff's home this past July 4th weekend for 5 nights and it was absolutely fantastic! Jeff is a gracious and wonderful host and we had the best time. Jeff is friendly and easy to contact. I was able to get a hold of him reguarly despite his vacation abroad to answer any questions. The photos do not do the property or amenities justice. The house was beautiful, clean and beyond comfortable for 8 and the hot tub, canoe, kayaks, fishing rods, grill and fire pit pretty much kept us busy without ever leaving the property. The location is perfect as a few of us decided to venture out and it was easy to get in and out. We also had the opportunity to meet his neighbor and they are also fantastic. Overall a fabulous location, home and community. We are already planning our next trip back! Thanks again, Jeff.

Diane2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

I was generally happy with our experience as we were here on business. I think the house was great but is more suited for family vacations. The location/view was really nice as well. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful family place.

Robert2016-10-03T00:00:00Z

Nice house, very spacious. On a beautiful lake, with great views from the hot tub. We were up there on an epically cold weekend which caused a bit of trouble from a heating perspective, but Jeff was very helpful in getting the problems sorted out.

Greg2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

Our family enjoyed all that this location on the lake and its winding, river tributaries had to offer - From a family of eagles to feisty bass right off the dock if one’s lucky. Jeff was an attentive host who made every effort to respond to any need. They generously let us use their canoe and kayaks – essential for exploring. The portion of the lake is overgrown in late summer and so one can’t swim from the house. With several families joining, we needed every room of this large house and some rooms were not as desirable.

Jeff left a lovely welcome gift. Thank you. The instructions for the house were very complete. The house was even roomier and more comfortable than we envisioned (it was hard to gauge the size from the pictures).

Laurie2015-11-28T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the cabin 2 families adults and children (9 in total) for 5 days and had a great time. Jeff is a great host, arriving on the first day we found that the house was not cleaned (the cleaning crew didn't show up), we called Jeff who arrived personally as soon as he could and took care of it. The house it self is very large and fully quipped, there is plenty of room for a large group and the full bunk beds were a big hit with the kids in the group. The cabin is right on the lake and Jeff allows the use of his canoe and kayak as well as fishing gear and even had life vests for the kids on hand. We mad use of the fire pit as well as the jacuzzi and everyone had a blast.

This is a unique property with 100 feet of private water frontage on Balch Lake (700 acre lake). It is a perfect place to get away, relax, and recharge your batteries. Everything you need to help you achieve maximum relaxation includes a sandy beach, fire pit, boat dock, swim dock, private boat ramp on adjacent property, large deck that runs the entire length of the house, picnic table, grill, canoe, kayak, life jackets, games, and puzzles.

Great view, cozy feeling with plenty of space for the family. The whole family loved the lake house and we can't wait to stay next year!

My family had the best time at David's lake house! It was spotless when we arrived and had all necessities such as towels, linens, utensils, and more! The house is located on a beautiful lakefront property and it has an awesome beach with adirondack chairs for lounging and a swim dock. David also provides a canoe and two person kayak for your own exploration and enjoyment on the lake. Balch Lake is a peaceful lake that is suitable for fishing, swimming, and floating on rafts, as well as tubing and water skiing for those who have motor boats! It was the most relaxing vacation my family and I have ever experienced together. Sitting by the fire at night making s'mores and waking up to a beautiful sunrise and birds chirping really made the most of our lake vacation. We highly recommend renting David's beautiful lake house for a getaway that your family and/or friends will never forget. Thank you for letting us spend time at your lovely lake house, we had a blast!

The property, location, and amenities were perfect. There were five of us that stayed at this retreat for three nights, and we would have stayed longer if we had the time. This house is spacious and offers plenty of room for additional family members. Additionally, the house was spotless, with warm and friendly décor. We brought our own kayaks and used the double kayak that was available. This gave our family an opportunity to spend quality time on the lake. My husband and grandson enjoyed fishing off the deck. The host David was friendly, welcoming, and attentive to our needs. We highly recommend renting this home. Sincerely, Champagne Family

Cassondra2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing long weekend at the lake! The house and lake front were exactly as pictured, better, in fact. We brought our dog, who loved the lake and my father-in-law taught the kids to fish! We made good use of the kayak and canoe and rented a paddle board one day from the marina. The small gas station/grocery store down the street was super convenient for take out lunches, basic groceries, snacks, bait, and firewood! We will definitely stay again!

Heather2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

The Peaceful Retreat is exactly as pictured and couldn't be more appropriately named! David was extremely helpful in providing information, instructions, and prompt responses to questions. The home is impeccably clean, well-maintained, and well-stocked with anything you would need for a visit. Kitchen items, linens, washer/dryer, wifi, movies, games, and more... We had no problems or issues whatsoever with the home. We brought our dogs and they thoroughly enjoyed the vacation as well. There were some neighbor dogs wandering freely close to the house/property with no supervision but we never had an issue. They would run away when they saw a person. This was our first AirBnB experience and it could not have gone more smoothly. The Peaceful Retreat is truly a little part of beautiful NH heaven. We cannot thank our hosts enough for sharing their home with us!

Stephanie2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

There were two couples on this trip and 1 dog. The house had an amazing view of the frozen lake. We got in right before a big snow storm which made the views better. The house had everything you needed and David answered all of our questions. We will visit again during the summer to capitalize on the lake.

Kevin2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

A wonderful summer experience! Enjoyed the cleanliness of the cottage as well as the water front, canoe and kayak. We would love to return in summers to come!

Lindsay2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed this lovely and beautifully decorated home with our 2 year old son and in-laws. We stayed for a week in mid October when the fall foliage was absolutely wonderful, right outside the window and all around. It was already a little chilly outside and direct sun was rare. However, we had a great time relaxing, fishing, canoeing and taking trips around the area (Portland, Portsmouth, Wolfeboro, etc.). It is a very quiet and peaceful place with private beach access and I am sure, in the summer it would be great for swimming, too. Dave, our host, was great and very responsive. He provided us with all the information needed and tips on what to do/see. If you don't plan on shopping for groceries too often, bring as much food as you can/will need as the next store/gas station is about 10 min away by car and only carries expensive basic essentials. Overall, we can highly recommend this place and we hope to come back some day.

Ken2016-07-08T00:00:00Z

The location is absolutely amazing! The house is very spacious, comfortable and very well stocked. We went on kayaking on the lake when the leaves are at their peak and the experience was simply breathtaking. There is a large porch with a gas grill and a firepit at the garden. The location is a bit remote, which is a good thing if you need the peace and quiet. We have stayed here over the Colombus Day weekend, so no feedback on the summertime/swimming activities.

Emir2014-10-14T00:00:00Z

Our stay was fantastic. Everything we needed was provided at the house (kayaks, life vests, fire pit, grill, indoor/outdoor games, etc). Had an amazing time.

Liz2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

House arrangements were easy and the place was very clean and inviting. Pictures on site were accurate and the house was lovely. Deck and amenities at the dock were a pleasure. I would highly recommend this house and definitely will visit again.

This is a beautiful house in a stunning location, equipped with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a weekend away with friends or family. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and lovely living areas and porch. It is a 15 minute drive to the nearest store.

Whether you need a relaxing vacation or just want to see NH. Come and visit East Wakefield, NH. Spend your vacation in a bright and cozy cottage that sits 100 feet from Balch Lake.

Whether you need a relaxing vacation or just want to see NH. Come and visit East Wakefield, NH. Spend your vacation in a bright and cozy cottage that sits 100 feet from Balch Lake. Balch Lake is a 700+ acre lake that stretches between New Hampshire and Maine. The lake has nice clean water and is great for swimming. We have a private neighborhood beach just a short walk from the house. Also, feel free to bring your canoe or kayak if you have one. There is a boat launch right across the street from the cottage that makes easy access to the water. The lake is very big and there are lots of areas and coves to explore. Balch Lake also has a Marina thats offers Beer, Wine, Pizza, and Candy. As well as Marine Gasoline.
The entire cottage has been newly remodeled this year. The cottage is bright, clean, and airy. It consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, and sunroom. There is also a sleep sofa in the living room, so the cottage will sleep a total of six persons. We offer cable and WiFi internet for you as well as a DVD player. Enjoy the the outdoors on the deck that looks out at a view of the water. Feel free to sit, relax, and take in the fresh air.
The cottage is situated in a private neighborhood. It is located on a peninsula which makes it great for walks because there is almost always a view of the lake. We also love how warm the lake water gets in the summer and is great for swimming. Please note, the property is not directly on the water but does have a partial water view. Also, feel free to bring your canoe or kayak if you have. Enjoy the summer nights cooking on the gas grill and chatting with friends and family around a camp fire.
The cottage is a great place to come and relax. The feeling of being by the lake is amazing. It comes with a simple life kind of feeling to it, but the location is also a reasonable distance from NH and ME attractions. It is only 2 hours from Boston as about 1 hour from the attractions of the southern Maine coast line and 50 Minutes from North Conway NH where you can enjoy outlet shopping and dining.

What we love about the neighborhood is the fact that it is located on a peninsula and when we go for walks, we can always see the lake while we walk along the road. We also love how warm the lake water gets in the summer and is great for swimming. There is also quite relaxing summer nights.

The listing description was very accurate. We had a great experience - clean, comfortable, and lovely. Dan and Kate were easy to work with and very accommodating. We hope to return!

Liz2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Had a wonderful time, the cottage was immaculate and exactly what we expected. Dan and Kate were wonderful to work with they made our trip so easy. Dan provided us with a great email with valuable information. We would love to return again.

Janet2014-08-17T00:00:00Z

Dan and kate are great hosts. They informed us very well about the house and the neighborhood. They were also very responsive when we asked questions. The cottage is beautiful and so is the area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you :)

We're an hour from the coast and an hour from the White Mountains. Our place, Stonecraft House, is close to seven lakes in Wakefield, Moose Mountain (a tubing mountain), and Heritage Park down the street in Union!. You’ll love our place because of our creaky Eighteenth Century house , the tree-house and zip-line, our pets, and our people. We welcome couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). Rooms are on the 3rd floor - up 2 steep flights of stairs.

This is an old inn with separate rooms; doors have interior slide bolts. Room 10 has a Queen bed, and has an adjoining (no door) small sleeping area with a twin bed. Room 10 opens into the 3rd floor shared bathroom but that door can be secured from the bedroom side. The bathroom is set up as a toilet /sink area and a separate tub /shower area, both of which lock from the inside.
A first floor bathroom with shower is also available for guests to use.

Union Village is part of the town of Wakefield. Access is easy as we're right off the main North/South highway into the White Mountains. There's a Dunkin Donuts about a block away, and the Poor People's Pub is 4 miles up Rte 153 in Sanbornville. For more elegant dining there's the Wakefield Inn, also in Sanbornville. There's also the Miss Wakefield Diner 5 miles North on Route 16. Right down the street is Heritage Park with a model railroad in the old train station - now a museum which is open on weekends. You'll recognize it by the big brown train snowplow in the park.

My friend Janet and I could not have asked for a better first Airbnb experience with Ruth as our host in a truly unique and special building. Ruth was extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating even as we arrived late coming in from Philadelphia. The rooms were cozy, clean and well maintained. Breakfast was a treat, and we were guided to a great local spot for lunch. We we afforded all the privacy we needed and the amenities were excellent. The area is very peaceful but not far off from the small towns in the area. Our weekend to for our friend's Nuptial celebration could not have been made easier and we truly have Ruth to thank.

They are marvelous hosts and I would love to visit them again. The house is vintage but in excellent condition. There are lot of books that you can read and even they suggested us a book by keeping it on the table. Really loved our stay there, no complaints at all.
